| contd :- -2- The single piece screen is now thought better : we like sloping pattern. There is value in the work done on wings, lamps, trunks etc. These wheel carriers have done extraordinarily well compared with our earlier work, but are not quite right when it is desired to carry one wheel only. I am looking forward to seeing the 2nd. arrgt. on the next car: perhaps this will have special short bolt for one wheel only, and generally arranged to keep the car as short as possible as regards rear number plates. For appearance there seems no need to lengthen the bonnet over the dash. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
